Did you get lied to and it led to you buying a timeshare? (by Lance C.):

Sadly this can be said about thousands of timeshare owners. Here are a few suggestions.
1) Try making use of what you have. You obviously saw something positive about it that made you sign on the dotted line. If, however, you've decided that you have absolutely no further use for timeshares, then...
2) Never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare as these are all scams.
3) If you want to get rid of it, then try either selling it or giving it away. You can advertise for low cost here on RedWeek, My Resort Network, Bid Shares, E-Bay, Timeshare Users Group (aka "TUG"; tug2.net), or even Craigslist.
4) Try asking the resort if it will take your unit back. It might require you to pay closing costs (about $250) and maybe even the next maintenance fee but it will work out cheaper than paying the many "Get out of your timeshare" operations.
